The Dax Motel and Cabins has recently come under new management and we are actively working on improving the operations and amenities. We would like to be very upfront with our guests and make it clear that we are not a high-end resort that is capable of meeting your expectation if that is what you are looking for. Our cabins are currently very rustic and only offer very basic amenities and are reminiscent of a summer camp you may have stayed at as a child. The motel offers more room and is what you would typically expect of a motel in the area. Our plan is to update the rooms and cabins and provide a better experience, so please be patient and check out our progress over the next couple of years.

Yes, the cabins each have their own bathroom, which includes a stand-up shower, toilet, and small sink. Do not flush anything other than toilet paper as it will clog the pipes and your credit card will be billed a $500.00 plumbing fee if you are found to have caused the issue.

Check-in is anytime after 4 pm. If you will be checking in after 8 pm, we ask that you please call to let us know when to expect you. You will receive a welcome email with information about which cabin or room you will be in. Please check your spam folder if you don’t see the email. Your room will be unlocked so you can check in whenever you like after 4pm. No need to check-in at the office. Check-out is at 10:30 am.

If you damage something in the room or on the property you will be charged based on those damages. Damages may include plumbing issues caused by flushing items other than toilet paper (wipes, feminine hygiene products, washcloths, etc.). The plumbing in the cabins uses a lift station with a pump. Flushing anything other than toilet paper will cause the pump to malfunction and will result in a $500 charge for the repairs. If it is found that you have been smoking (cigarettes or any other substances) in the room you will be charged a damages fee. You will also be charged for any damages caused by your pet(s).

Due to COVID, we do not offer regular housekeeping services such as cleaning your room while you are out during the day. Please let us know if you need more items such as towels, toilet paper, or soap and we will gladly provide you with those. If you have a large amount of trash, we ask that you bring it to the dumpsters located near the pool. The one on the left is for recycling and the one on the right is for trash.

Yes, you may have a fire in the designated fire pits. Please do not start a fire anywhere other than the designated areas. We do not provide or sell firewood, but the store next door usually has bundles for sale.
